The Colorado movie shooter didn't use an AR15. It was some imitation look-alike rifle with no TDP or Mil-spec foundation to speak of.
No specific cartridge is a 100% killer unless you get a CNS hit. Even lung shots can be survived somewhat easily if the EMS know how to treat a sucking chest wound and get you to a trauma center in reasonable time.
I've seen quite a few people shot at close range with 5.56 M855. The ones that survived would not have without a US Combat Trauma Management Echelons Of Care system in place.
